San Francisco’s most delightful and entertaining holiday cabaret delivered unforgettable magic once again this year. Here’s a look back at the 32nd annual Songs of the Season. 

On Tuesday and Wednesday, December 10 and 11, we celebrated with two incredible nights of joy, laughter, and breathtaking performances, culminating in a sold-out second evening. Produced and hosted by the incomparable Brian Kent, this beloved holiday tradition brought together a dazzling array of talent, all while supporting PRC’s life-changing services. 

Brian Kent and Victor Serda

From Brian’s hilarious twist on “My Favorite Things” to Sister Roma’s comedic and heartfelt rendition of Twas the Night Before Christmas” and Broadway-worthy performances by The Show Broads, the evenings were packed with unforgettable moments. 

Audience favorites included Kenny Nelson’s velvety smooth “Merry Christmas Baby,” Brian Justin Crum’s stunning “Defying Gravity” from Wicked, and Kippy Marks’ vibrant violin solos with his 1822 violin consort Izabella. Charles Jones brought soulful renditions of holiday classics, while Donna Sachet’s iconic cameo performance of “White Christmas” left everyone feeling the holiday spirit.
